Comcast Adds Cisco WebEx to Upware

May 30, 2013 |
PHILADELPHIA -- Comcast Corporation, a global media and technology company, today announced that Cisco WebEx has joined the Upware™ marketplace, a suite of cloud-based business solutions that can be purchased and accessed through Comcast’s integrated web portal. Cisco WebEx Meeting Center, which offers a full suite of online collaboration solutions, joins a select group of top-tier Upware vendors that meet a strict set of security, redundancy and customer service requirements and can provide both the best performance as well as ease of use for small and medium businesses (SMBs).

With WebEx Meeting Center, SMBs can collaborate with customers, vendors, partners and colleagues across their organization or around the world. WebEx enables online meetings and the ability to share content, information and expertise, and keeps users connected whether at their computer or remote with native mobile support for iOS, Android and Blackberry, according to Cisco. WebEx Meeting Center gives SMBs the same powerful collaboration tools that are available to large organizations, and allows them to significantly increase productivity. As SMBs utilize more remote workers, virtual teams, freelancers and home-office users, tools like those offered through Cisco can improve communications and productivity to give them a competitive edge.

“WebEx is an industry leader and a great example of the Upware philosophy to work with only the top providers in each technology category,” said Kevin O’Toole, senior vice president/general manager, new business solutions at Comcast Business. “We’re delighted to have Cisco WebEx join Upware. With WebEx Meeting Center, Upware puts a premier collaboration tool in the hands of SMBs and allows them to benefit from the same technology that large corporations do.”

Upware, which was launched in February 2013, simplifies application management with the convenience of a single sign-on, making access fast and easy for individual users. In addition, business owners can quickly add or remove employees from the system as their business needs change. Plus, users have the simplicity of one number to call for support, management and troubleshooting for everything associated with their Comcast Business Internet service including the Upware marketplace and the software applications themselves.
